All the best Volkswagens have round headlights.  I guess it's a matter of
personal taste, but even the Rabbit, with its square lines, looked better
with round headlights as did the A1 Scirocco.  The Dasher?  Ugly no matter
what.

I think the square headlights on a Vanagon make it look part-Oldsmobile...
